FORMULA 2
Virtuosi Racing started in its current form back in 2012 and has been a successful mainstay on the single-seater ladder ever since.
Based in Attleborough, Norfolk, the team has built up a long list of accomplishments since its inception, initially in Auto GP, before later branching out into the GP2 Series, where Formula 1 stars of the future learn their trade. Virtuosi took over the running of the Russian Time team in 2014, with which it won the FIA Formula 2 (formally GP2) teams’ championship in 2017, before taking the squad in-house and forming UNI-Virtuosi Racing for the start of the 2019 season. UNI-Virtuosi Racing finished second in the F2 teams' championship in the 2019, 2020 and 2021 seasons.
For the 2022 season, a rebranded Virtuosi Racing will both continue its successful run in FIA Formula 2, and also expand into the FIA British Formula 4 Championship.
